Isn't It a Pity? lyrics

Why did I wander

Here and there and yonder

Wasting precious time

For no reason or rhyme

Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a crime

My journeys ended

Everything is splendid

Meeting you today

Has given me a wonderful idea

Here I stay

It's a funny thing

I look at you

I get a thrill

I never knew

Isn't it a pity

We never met before?

Here we are at last

It's like a dream

The two of us

A perfect team

Isn't it a pity

We never met before?

Imagine all the lonely years you wasted

Fishing for salmon

Losing at backgammon

What joys un-tasted

My nights were sour

Spent with Schopenhauer

Let's forget the past

Let's both agree

That I'm for you

And you're for me

And it's such a pity

We never, never met before

It's an awful pity

We never, never met before
